    I think you can assume the 8K who have it in New Jersey is probably more like 50-100K.

    This is just a microcosm of the big picture today, but the local Walgreens, just down the street from me, had 3 employees and 2 pharmacists test positive.  That's a good percentage of the staff, in one relatively small building, that were coming into contact with many people on a daily basis.  Luckily, we have not personally been going there, but I can guarantee many neighbors, friends, etc. have.  I'm way off the grid from downtown Chicago in the suburbs, by the way.  This thing is taking over everywhere.

    We are very lucky to have a Walgreens with a drive up window with a slide our drawer to exchange money or credit card for purchases.  No contact other that the items going in and out of the sliding drawer and those items can be wiped down with alcohol or other disinfectant. 

    Speaking of disinfectants, here is a list of good anti-COVID disinfectants:

    Clorox Multi Surface Cleaner + Bleach
    Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
    Clorox Commercial Solutions® Clorox® Disinfecting Spray
    Lysol brand Heavy-Duty Cleaner Disinfectant Concentrate
    Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist
    Lysol brand Clean & Fresh Multi-Surface Cleaner
    Purell Professional Surface Disinfectant Wipes
    Sani-Prime Germicidal Spray

    And before anybody says anything about 'per capita'

    The y-axis is logarithmic scale, which does better job of explaining spread
    Have you seen any good state by state curves for the US?  I was trying but haven't found what I'm looking for.  Since actions are more state by state due to inaction at fed, it would be interesting to see which states are doing better, or not as bad I guess

    There's always a silver lining, even if it's thin.

    I know I said I wasn't gonna panic until we ran out of those bad boys, but I decided I'd rather keep my cool. Had my second public outing today, and man, was I in a cold sweat!

    Thought I'd add some cheer to my home sweet by bringing this adorable, light haired ball of fluffy goodness home! 

    Happy day 14! Welcome home, Milkshake!
